Nucor kept its weekly list price for hot-rolled (HR) coil unchanged this week following a price cut of $10 per short ton (st) last week.

The steelmaker said in a letter to customers on Monday that its consumer spot price (CSP) for HR coil would remain at $900 per short ton (st).

Nucor also said pricing at its West Coast joint venture, California Steel Industries (CSI), would remain unchanged from last week at $960/st.
